Paul Skenes, the Pirates’ electric rookie ace, turned in a stat-stuffing performance with a season-high 11 strikeouts but still fell short in a gritty loss to the Cubs. Despite battling through fatigue and a shaky third inning, Skenes allowed five earned runs over 5.1 innings, including a costly fifth inning where the Cubs plated three runs to take the lead. Pulled in the sixth with runners on, the bullpen couldn’t seal the deal. It’s a tough night for the phenom — but his overall dominance this season proves he’s still one of baseball’s brightest young lights.
